Poem
Written: April 13, 2024 Rumi Quote: "I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God" 2nd contest winner ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have you seen God in your parent's sacrificial love? In the abyss of their dreams, shoved from above. I discern God as the pinnacle of love and affection. I spot God in a state of ecstatic bliss, laden with elation. Behold the world, mirrored in a dewdrop's gleam. Has the sun drawn a rainbow in a summer stream? I grasp God in a tree whose hollow mouth prest. I meet grace amid nature's compassionate breast. Behold an array of hues within a stream flow. What if a summer whim is enthused by full moon glow? I perceive God in a tree that gazes at Him all day. I view God in a tree lifting its leafy arms to pray. Have you ever felt drawn into a genuine embrace? As a ray in gloom, it fills your sank heart with grace. Have you seen an eagle flying or a sobbing dove? Then you saw God draw a scene in a painting of love. Have you felt as if love soothed your mind and soul? With surety, God's touch graced your tender whole. I feel God in each breath I embrace of His air. I perceive God in a roost of robins in her hair. Have you noticed that love clings to your nude skin? Where hope prevails, and faith reveals love within, I spot God in a loop on a string, filled with sacred love. Auric delight, crimson blossoms from above, I worship God with untamed devotion, born of delight. Superb proof and exquisite hues of genuine sight, I perceive God in this existence; all are valuable, dear. The endowment to love and be loved is always clear. Have you seen God in a meager morsel of void soul? Devoured by a starved hound—spirit, core, and mole. To discern God as a lush garden in Elixir abode. A riveting crimson glow draws all swirling lode. A sight too divine for mortal eyes to define. Yet there's a vision beyond mere spot-shine. Men can't discern God due to His ethereal nature. Until we have eternal forms at our disposal later, Viewing God must be set, not left idle, as a vow. Zeal embrace, a celestial spite that might glow. A fiery sky, God's canvas divine, before the sun's rise. Seek God as hummingbirds zipped across the skies. Discover God in every wind-danced breath. In tears of a broken man's eyes falling in stealth. I've seen God, but not as a male or female. I saw God in my soul, not amid veils or hale.
